Just a question i was curious about
Can you be a bit more specific about the kind of situation you had in mind?Thegiver431 said:Just a question i was curious about
What about if mu is not given?billy_joule said:F = uN
Friction force is the resistance force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.
Friction force is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction (which depends on the materials in contact) by the normal force (the force perpendicular to the surface).
The factors that affect friction force include the roughness of the surfaces in contact, the weight of the object, and the type of materials in contact.
The coefficient of friction can be determined through experiments or by looking up known values for specific materials.
Friction force can slow down or stop the motion of an object, making it an important factor to consider in many real-world situations.
